Wha: Becomes Of the Migrating
Birds.

The flight Of storks has given trou.
Bile to the Germans and the Chinese,
while the disappearance and reappear
ance of the swallows have caused mn

bodies, like the French Academy and
the Royal Society Of London, have
gravely asserted that, in the Fan.
swallows plunge into the mud OF
marshes and mill ponds, become torpid.
and hibernate like frogs and snakes.

written all along from the middle Of
the seventh century down to 1877, for
the purpose OF proving or ,sisproylng
the Information OF swallows and other
birds. And DIR. Coues says he can lay
his hand upon papers Of that period,
which discuss the migration OF swal-
lows to the moon, the falling Of the
little quadrupeds called Jennings in
showers from the clouds. and the
origin of brant geese from barnacles
that grew on trees. Indeed, not a
year ago. Twas assured b. gentleman
of more than average intelligence that
this last is undoubtly the correct theory
as OF the origin of the barnacle goose.
And it was not decade ago that / read

word "ocd'' he placed over a SANGER
containing bread and milk. aIl put the
blank card over au empty saucer.
Vans attention was called to the sau-
GERS over and over again. In about ten
days Van began to distinguish between
the two cards. Then he put the two
cards upon the floor, and signaled Van
to bring one of them. which he really
did. When he brought the blank cstrd

others having other words placed upon
them, to which he did not attach any
Importance. merely putting them in
that he might have a certain number.
Soon Van distinguished between the
white and the printed cards, but it took
him long time to recognize the words

ginning. however; but it was suggestive.

no doubt the limited senses of the dog
constitutes Il difficulty in the case.

of cards differently celored were put be-

out an qttcmpt was made to induce the
dog to bring the corresponding one;
but. although two lessons per day were
given for three months. the dog had
no more idea what he should do at the
end than he had at the beginning.

home-workcrs the advice of thorough
ness holds good. To keep resolutely
to the study of the dry and rudimeu-
tary knowledge of anatomy, perspec-
tive, and the principles of design is the
sure way to make the most of limited
opportunities. The habit of observa-
ton is another great help, and calls for
no special time or opportunity. The

the seeking mind.

added that the men have not kept up

toned, Peter Larkin, Peter Brown,
Martin Nelson and Charles Clemens.
On September 23rd they arrived Oh
Midway Island. On the night Of 90
tober 10th the vessel was riding as
anchor off the island. the whole of the
crew being camped on shore. Toward
midnight gale OF wind arose and the
vessel drifttd ashore and became Q
wreck. The crew thus found them
selves upon desolate island In mid.
ocean, their only means OF subsistence
being sea birds and their eggs and
fish. About ten days after their arri-
val a painful accident Mapped to Lar
kin. While engaged killing fish with
giant powder. one OF his hands was
blown Off and he died in few days.
After this q fsud appears to have
arisen between Mate Jorgent and the
other Survivors. They state that ON

In their hut, Jorgent came stesthily
behind him. put q rope around his

The lad called loudly for help. when
the rope was slackened and Jorgeut

were after eggs Jorgent murdered
them. When the others learned Of
this. they accused Jorgent oft. Hesaid

They accordingly destroyed the boat.

our town should not be close-fsted or
Dipgardly In dealing with matters az
fecting our future, and we believe that
any fairly broad guage and free-handed
policy In this regard would meet the
endorsement Of our taxpayers, but we

undoubtedly be Of great and lasting
benefit to our town and people, but II
IL is to 20 beyond US and build up new

tations with the towns along its line
and We earnestly hope that the com
ing spring will see them In this con-
dition. Then will we be found active

just now is to hear something definite

employed In the conpany's shops
here. They held meeting yesterday,
but came to no definite conclusion.
Another meeting WAS held this AFTER

ground that it was premature and en-

have been con fined TO Port Richmond

cate that the strike win be long and
bitter one. The crisis will be reached
tomorrow when the order Of General
Manager Mcleod goes into effect.
THIS order directs that all employees
shall at once return TO work and those
who do not will be dismissed from ser.

Fir.t Railway In south America.


Though we of the United States have
little TO do with the Argentine Republic
nowadays, the pioneers Of the prosperity
of that country were citizens of this. u
1926 William Wheelwright, of Pennsyl
vania, was wrecked on the Argentine
coast, and made his way to q small
town called Quilmar, hatless, coatlea,
bootless, and starving. He remained n
the place because he had no means 20
pay his passage elsewhere, and forty
years later constructed the first railway
in South America, from Quilmar 70
Buenos Ayres. He built the first rail-
way in Chill also, and Is founder Of the
Pacific Steam Navigation company,
